A quick glance at all the reviews of this movie clearly shows the repeated mention of two words: “Haunting” and “Sad”. It couldn’t get any truer than that.
It’s about a couple of survivors of the camps. The woman is in denial and keeps herself bustling around her kitchen. The man is looking for a suitcase of lost mementos which he buried in the garden but cannot find because, well, things had been ever so meaningfully “changed forever”.
Their daughter, Chaja, is an attractive woman in her 20s who wants to forget her bitter Jewish roots by getting involved in student demonstrations, having a romantic interest in a student rebel leader, and living with her gentile friends away from her nagging and eccentric parents. Turmoil happens when she loses her job, and goes to work as a nanny for a “Hassidic” family which claims to be ultra-orthodox (strict dress codes and all). Sad, sad things ensue.
Apart from the wooden supporting cast (Chaja’s dazed parents and the janitor villain are staid, one-dimensional characters) the movie is pushingly, gratingly, compellingly tragic. Several jabs at anti-semitism are hammered home continually.
Which is my gripe. I left the movie with a feeling not of having watched a moving drama, but that of having sat through a lecture on Heritage and Angst. In a shot towards the end, when the father and daughter are hopelessly digging for the lost luggage, one has the impression that no one in the film learned anything about themselves or the past. That seems strange, since I thought that that was in fact what this film was supposed to be about.
The prime aim here seems to have been to make the audience cry. And in that, it succeeds, big time. Recommended if you are into melodrama, and have a good stock of Kleenex handy.

I bought the itouch for my husband as a valentine’s/birthday present, I also bought him some accessories to go with it. I got a great deal on both and they came in excellent shape and we didn’t have to wait a long time to get them. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase.
